Summary
This video breaks down the cost of a Big Mac from McDonald's, showing that it costs $6.49 before taxes and fees. It then uses a loan calculator to demonstrate that with a 20% down payment and financing at 8% interest over 60 months, the monthly payment is only about 11 cents, implying a very low annual gross income is needed to afford it.
